Dental conditions in patients with bipolar disorder on long‐term lithium maintenance therapy
Abstract
Bipolar disorder (manic depressive disease) affects 1% of the United States population. These persons suffer from episodes of extreme elation followed by long periods of depression. Dental screening examinations of 40 patients consecutively admitted to the medical center with this diagnosis were performed. Poor oral hygiene, accumulations of supragingival and subgingival calculus, extensive dental caries, and numerous missing teeth were commonly identified. The majority of patients with bipolar disorder are treated with lithium carbonate. The physiological effects of lithium, and its interaction with drugs used in dentistry are reviewed, and disease‐specific modifications in dental treatment are recommended.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
